Motion sickness in public road transport: The effect of driver, route and vehicle

Article Abstract:

The link between incidences of motion sickness during travel to the rates of low-frequency motion occurring in road vehicles was investigated. Low-frequency motion was examined as a function of vehicle type, vehicle driver and route. Passenger nausea and illness increased with increased exposure to lateral coach motion at low frequencies, and nausea occurrence was higher on routes that were predominantly cross-country. There were no significant differences in sickness between the different vehicle types.
